UBOS postpones Census again: Decries late funding

The National population and housing census exercise will not take place in August as earlier planned. Uganda bureau of statics says it is not feasible because a number of pre- census activities like procurement of the tablets, publicity, recruitment and training of census staff plus developing digital maps are still pending.
While updating the press on the forthcoming population census exercise at statistics house in Kampala, the Deputy Executive Director UBOS Godfrey Nyabongo said they are finalizing a report on how far they have gone with preparations, submit it to the ministry of finance to be presented to cabinet that will decide on the date to conduct the census.
